Copyright Quotes

Copyright law has got to give up its obsession with 'the copy.' The law should not regulate 'copies' or 'modern reproductions' on their own. It should instead regulate uses--like public distributions of copies of copyrighted work--that connect directly to the economic incentive copyright law was intended to foster. Lawrence Lessig
Lawrence Lessig quote: "Copyrights have not expired, and will not expire, so long as..."
Copyrights have not expired, and will not expire, so long as Congress is free to be bought to extend them again. Lawrence Lessig
Vigorous enforcement of copyrights themselves is an important part of the picture. But I don't think that expanding the legal definition of copyright outside of actual copyright infringement is the right move. Edward Felten
This song is Copyrighted in U.S., under Seal of Copyright #154085, for a period of 28 years, and anybody caught singin’ it without our permission, will be mighty good friends of ourn, cause we don’t give a dern. Publish it. Write it. Sing it. Swing to it. Yodel it. We wrote it, that’s all we wanted to do. Cory Doctorow
But here's the thing: what you do as a screenwriter is you sell your copyright. As a novelist, as a poet, as a playwright, you maintain your copyright. Beth Henley
This does not mean that every copyright must prove its value initially. That would be a far too cumbersome system of control. But it does mean that every system or category of copyright or patent should prove its worth. Lawrence Lessig
As we've seen, our constitutional system requires limits on copyright as a way to assure that copyright holders do not too heavily influence the development and distribution of our culture. Lawrence Lessig
The marketplace can handle this. The laws are there. The courts have shown a consistent ability to find a balance between copyright owners and copyright users. Hilary Rosen
I've been thinking... Maybe you're a mockingbird... Mockingbirds imitate the songs of other birds... No, I've never heard of any copyright problems. Charles M. Schulz
Anthony de Mello quote: "The world is right because I feel good. p. 83, Awareness,..."
The world is right because I feel good. p. 83, Awareness, copyright 1990 Anthony de Mello
I can claim copyright only in myself, and occasionally in those who are either dead or have written about the same events, or who have a decent expectation of anonymity, or who are such appalling public shits that they have forfeited their right to bitch. Christopher Hitchens
But, like all metaphoric wars, the copyright wars are not actual conflicts of survival. Or at least, they are not conflicts for survival of a people or a society, even if they are wars of survival for certain businesses or, more accurately, business models. Thus we must keep i mind the other values or objectives that might also be affected by this war. We must make sure this war doesn't cost more than it is worth. We must be sure it is winnable, or winnable at a price we're willing to pay. Lawrence Lessig
Robin Gross quote: "We're on the path of creating monopoly business practices out..."
We're on the path of creating monopoly business practices out of copyright law. Robin Gross
Robin Gross quote: "The copyright bargain: a balance between protection for the..."
The copyright bargain: a balance between protection for the artist and rights for the consumer. Robin Gross
I have made it a rule for a long time, not to part with the copyright of my drawings, for I have been so copied, my drawings reproduced and sold for advertisements and done in ways I hate. Kate Greenaway
